Canadians sour on immigration according to government survey

OTTAWA — When he announced the federal strategy of ramping up the number of immigrants to Canada over the next three years, Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen described it as what Canadians wanted and needed — especially with governments around the world closing their doors to immigrants and refugees.

It was a subtle jab at the policies of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has cracked down on immigration in the name of the “America First” sentiment that got him elected a year ago Tuesday.

But over the course of those 12 months, Canadian views on immigration appear to have shifted in that same direction, according to the survey the federal government carries out each year as part of its immigration planning process.

The Liberals are running a Ponzi scheme designed to provide themselves grateful ethnic voters and Big Business with cheap labour. You lose.

Most muzzies are never grateful. The more they get the more they demand.

Excessive immigration undermines the national culture and cohesion. Other than interesting ethnic restaurants, there’s no plus for the citizens.

Only business interests looking for cheap labor benefit from millions of new residents will to work for less than market rates.

Liberal Progressive

That’s racist to expect traumatized refugees from war zones to work!

It takes something like 4 years to see a urologist (or was that neurologist?) in Ontario. What will it be when hundreds of thousands more (including seniors who are family members of the immigrants) come into the province and Canada as a whole? One wonders how long these new immigrants will remain “grateful” toward the Liberals as government services like healthcare continue to be stressed and compromised under heavy immigration.

Don’t worry – the newcomers will be sent to the head of the line while the native-born Canadians are euthanized.

PaulW

Possibly, but then who will actually do the necessary work in order to fund healthcare and other government services, if the native population is replaced? The wonderful, efficient and hard-working societal newcomers? I think not. Eventually, the system will collapse to third world standards since our society will primarily be comprised of people who originated in third world.

Paul, what you say is already happening in Sweden. Observers predict it’s economy will descend to that of a semi-industrialized economy.

Liberal Progressive

The governments just borrow more money to pay for everything.

After all budgets balance themselves!

The work is like the budget it does it itself.

Canadian Born

You are so right, immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers first and native born Canadians last. Isn’t Canada wonderful? Why are Canadians letting this happen? Oh right, because so many stupid uninformed voters believe and back, the moron running our once great country.

Not to mention the drain on the health system of the terrifying incidence of genetic abnormalities caused by inbreeding among Moslems. Very occasionally one can dig through the censorship and find quite frightening evidence of this in Britain, and doubtless elsewhere in Europe.

Who thought it was a good idea to make a 40 year old Somali the Immigration Minister as if there are NO Canadian born people that could do the job ….. he had already funnelled over $10 million to his homeland in the guise of aid .
He also told the King Hearing members of Congress in DC that the Somali Jihadists crisis in canada is because the Government does not have a 100% employment plan for somali youth so they don’t become terrorists.

Wow, in the 1960’s there were many youth that didn’t have summer jobs while in High school and not 1 became a terrorist that wanted to go back to their parents homeland to fight in a civil war.

We not only are giving terrorists $10 million each but now we have to pay muslims to not commit crimes or join a terrorism groups?????
The problem is the muslims and not another youth jobs programs .

Liberal Progressive

What you say doesn’t even make sense because any Somaili immigrant who wants a good paying job with benefits will be given a government job right away by our government even if we have to create a new position for them.
